POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS: O MOVIMENTO LGBTQI+ E O ACESSO AO AMBIENTE ESCOLAR

Abstract

Human rights are at the heart of contemporary social issues. They are affirmed and continually violated, despite being references for the construction of democratic human societies. The present study is based on an analysis of public policies for access and recognition of LGBTQI+ communities in the school environment and, thus, examines the existence of access rights through theoretical, bibliographic research and empirical evidence based on the constitutional assumption of that equality and access to education are fundamental. To this end, we affirm that the principle of equality is suppressed by prejudices rooted in society. The violence experienced by the LGBTQI+ community in the school environment, together with facts that illustrate the need for urgent measures to protect these individuals. To validate successful public policies that recognize the LGBTQI+ public, a comparative study was carried out focusing on the specificities and articulations between the right to education of the LGBTQI+ public and the right to equality as diversity. Based on this analysis, the inconsistency of the Brazilian government's approach to promoting the construction of public policies to protect the rights of the LGBTQI+ community is highlighted.
